An hour for the whole game, or an hour for a turn?

I've had 1v1s on Clandemonium go more than two weeks, but even the most complicated turns didn't take more than 10 or 12 minutes along the way.

I've updated the xml (max 2 positions for each players). Kab, if it is ok for you I'll send it to the turtle.

the link is the same you have in the first post, let me know

The nice part about having 5 starting points is that good/bad dice tend to average out, and everybody starts with an almost-level playing field. For this reason, Clandemonium was the ONLY "Conquest-type" map where strategy was more important than luck. Cutting it back to two starting points means it will be like every other Conquest-type map, all about lucky dice. First guy to get a good streak going and break past 6 terts wins.

I totally agree here--why the change--I just read back starting from August 27th and I guess I missed why it was changed anyway. I didn't think large changes occurred to quenched maps like this.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit.

Synonyms1. unnatural, preternatural. weird, eerie, unearthly, uncanny refer to that which is mysterious and apparently outside natural law. Weird refers to that which is suggestive of the fateful intervention of supernatural influences in human affairs: the weird adventures of a group lost in the jungle. Eerie refers to that which, by suggesting the ghostly, makes one's flesh creep: an eerie moaning from a deserted house. Unearthly refers to that which seems by its nature to belong to another world: an unearthly light that preceded the storm. Uncanny refers to that which is mysterious because of its apparent defiance of the laws established by experience: an uncanny ability to recall numbers.

we may need to have 4 starting positions for 1 vs 1 games and dubs games, this may make it a little better for the player who does not go first? what you think on this kab? would this serve to be more helpful?

2 other things for ideas kab, see what you think here m8, see what others think as well.

These territories are usually meaningless in most games, however, if it was a clan leader land with a cool symbol and a reward of an auto bonus of +1 for holding the land, and a auto bonus of +1 every round you hold it automatically, it may attract some to go for it, creating for more valuable areas to enrich the map. Or if there is not enough room in the key, you could make those territories of neutral 1's?

These changes could help aid in improving the map slightly? What do others think? What do you think Kab?

Thank you

So unless your saying that the reference YOU posted which states weird as being defined as bizarre is wrong.. I guess my OP was correct

Look further down the definition of bizarre. The differences between bizarre and weird are outlined there:

SynonymsBizarre, fantastic, grotesque, weird share a sense of deviation from what is normal or expected. Bizarre means markedly unusual or extraordinarily strange, sometimes whimsically so: bizarre costumes for Mardi Gras; bizarre behavior. [...] Weird refers to that which is mysterious and apparently outside natural law, hence supernatural or uncanny: the weird adventures of a group lost in the jungle; a weird and ghostly apparition. Informally, weird means “very strange”: weird and wacky costumes; weird sense of humor.

There was nothing wrong with the map. It was, IMHO, one of the best maps on the site. Then, a single person complained about it (and not even eloquently or in great detail) and for some inexplicable reason based on that ONE incoherent complaint, the map was changed? And now you think it needs a full-scale revamp because of one single unecessary change that can easily be reversed?

Well, I see a problem here, that would be adding more confusion to the rules which are clear and conceptually precise. (apart from the problem of not having more room/space on the legend board for extra information) Why not making those distant region starting with 1 neutral troop instead of 2? they will always be useful for region count purposes

I agree with you Dukasaur. I loved the map as it was but now it seems like it is going to go through an overhaul.

LOL the debate on unusual --how about changing the map without any notice is :

BULL SHIT--now debate that
